Finding Harmony In The Word

Will you have Faith? Stubborn as a stone.

So quiet are those that believe in YHVH (God). The still is as the silence and stillness before a storm. Often times we are tired, lost and discouraged. At this time, many are facing adversity. Trouble is all about ourselves. Right is wrong and wrong is right. It is through tribulations that true character is revealed. Nowhere in the Bible does it state that life will be easy. Nowhere does is say that life is filled with ease. Every Christian will be tried and tested. Are we worthy to be called His children???

The Bible is filled with stories of heroism and success when failure was so prevalent. Often the hero faced incredible odds yet YHVH (God) was with them. Know now, you are not alone. It is and will be our time to prove our loyalty. Stand up! Be encouraged! Make our Father proud! Remember what Jesus told John.

John 12:25

"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

Why did Jesus say this? Why should we despise our life? Because this world is our testing ground. We are judged by what we do here. Our deeds are being recorded and every act will be brought into light. Luke chapter 12 comes to mind as well as the book of Revelation.

Revelation 20

¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

¹²And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

¹³And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

¹⁴And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Luke 12

²For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

³Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Know that we are being watched. YHVH (God) has His eyes everywhere and NOTHING goes unnoticed. (Proverbs 15:3) He loves us; each and every one of us. Yes, He may not like what we are doing from time to time but He is faithful and just to forgive us when we repent. Look, this world is going to get uglier. The Bible is definitive on the end of events.

If Jesus was not of this world (John 15:18) and unloved by those in it, then know for certainty that we will also be hated in this world (John 15:19, & 17:14). But we are loved by YHVH (God). Each and every soul belongs to Him. (Ezekiel 18:4) Your are dearly precious to Him.

It is ok to rest from time to time but do NOT quit.
